Can you recommend an overview of everything wrong with probabilistic epistemology? I haven’t found one. There’s lots of papers that say “this particular objection is fatal, so why don’t you guys stop pretending,” but maybe no compendium of those?

Collecting all the nearly-fatal objections to probabilistic epistemology in one place would issue a more difficult challenge: can you accommodate all these simultaneously? I don’t want to do this job, but it would be a major service if someone did. (Or has!)

@ArtirKel, here is a list of eight (nearly?) fatal problems with (Bayesian) probabilism, with brief explanations. It would be great to have something like this, but more comprehensive, and with more discussion. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epistemology-bayesian/#PotPro …Show this thread

You've obviously been talking to the wrong probabilists. Problems result from misapplications or misunderstandings of theorems, and their correct resolution will simplify rather than complicate. E. T. Jaynes was a master of this and his...

...masterpiece "The Logic of Science" is full of beautifully simple refutations and corrections of other people's attempted complicated amendments to probability theory. But only a master can operate at that level.
